Parent Information
Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested services are the rule. [2223 Catechism of the Catholic Church] The Role of the Sponsor
Requirements of a Sponsor Canon Law {872-874} states: To be permitted to take on the function of sponsor a person must be designated by the candidate; completed the 16th year of life; be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has already received the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist; one who leads a life of faith in keeping with the Church; they should not be bound by canonical penalty legitimately imposed or declared and they should not be the father or mother of the child. A sponsor also helps the person to lead a Christian life in keeping with baptism/confirmation and to fulfill faithfully the obligations inherent in it. |
